As the days come and go, and the night's pass...your always on my mind and that's a fact! When mom and I went to see your brothers, nieces and nephews it was so hard especially when I seen Uncle Rick....if his hair was dark like yours and he had your pretty blue eyes he would have looked just like you dad......that was hard...but I know you seen me be strong and not cry...however my heart kept breaking. I know you are up in heaven watching over all of us...keeping us all safe. It's still hard dad to cook the meals I knew you loved and enjoyed, but I do it and remember the times you would come in the kitchen and tell me how you wanted your meat, or to tell me it smelled good. Dad as the days pass it hasn't gotten any easier, I cannot grasp why ppl say it will because it hasn't yet! Dad, I know you seen me crying the night before your birthday when I was looking at pictures of you and playing songs that reminded me of you. I try not to cry in front of anyone, but it's hard to hold in the tears sometimes.....but I do it because I know you wouldn't want us crying for you because you're in a better place without the pain and suffering. Dad, I know you know who is the right person for me....I just wish you would show me, send me a sign.....Dad, should I go to the dr and get checked out again? Or will it be a mistake? Just please send me some signs....I know you always had my back and I known you still do dad! No matter where my life's journeys take me dad....you will always be in my heart. Your first Fathers Day and birthday in HEAVEN were hard on me dad....not having you here with me to hug and seen your face light up as you opened your gifts from the kids and I. I know your in a better place ......I just wish you could come visit from time to time! :-( love you forever and always dad....your oldest daughter, Tiff aka T

Moms birthday
Dad today is mom's 60th birthday and I wish you were here to spend it with us.....but remembering mom's birthdays from the past when you were here brought me to one birthday where you left the house with the kids and mom kinda got angry because you weren't really feeling good and you didn't let us know where you and the kids were going.....but yall got back and yall went to the room and came back out shortly after with some cards and gifts from the kids to give mom. Mom opened the cards and gifts from the kids then opened your card up and read it and started laughing because the card read something along the lines of " Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you baby," and on the inside it said "Who's your daddy?? Happy birthday!" It was the funniest card ever dad. Anyways dad I love you and I know you are here with us today and everyday in spirit.....we all love you and miss you stop by and see mom today. Love ya always and forever!
When I had Ruben
The day I had Ruben you brought mom, Leena and Zac up to see Ruben and I after you got off work......in came Leena and Zac full of smiles on both of their chubby lil faces, then in come mom, and then you. Ruben was laying on the bed right next to me and you just kept starring and I asked you what was wrong, and you said "well where is the Damn baby?" I said he is right here next to me dad! You looked and said "that, that's not a baby, that's a Damn baby buddah!" I laughed hell we all laughed and I started hurting so bad from the staples...that I told you too quit making me laugh.........of course that didn't happen but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Now our baby buddah, isn't a Buddha baby anymore....he's a ripped lil 14 year old that you would be so proud of dad!
